Portobello Mushroom Shawarma

As much as I love to eat meat, I also love my vegetables. Whether you are vegan or vegetarian, or just being more health conscious, portobello mushrooms are a great substitute for meat. They are quite substantial and are perfect for a shawarma sandwich.I’ve tried many variations for vegan shawarma, but my absolute favourite is by Palestinian -American Rawia Bishara, from her cookbook “Levant”. The combination of meaty mushrooms, with her choice of fragrant spices and creamy tahini sauce is just heavenly! Rawia is originally from Nazareth and a respected chef and owner of Tanoreen , a Palestinian restaurant on First Avenue in the far south end of Brooklyn New York. It’s the mecca for lovers of Levantine foods. Her recipes are genius and undeniably delicious.
